Rodrigue Beaubois Is Taking Boxing Classes

Mavericks guard Rodrigue Beaubois, who is entering his fourth NBA season and also the final year of his contract, is still trying to earn adequate playing time in the L. After last season, Mavs owner Mark Cuban told Beaubois that he needed to get tougher; Beaubois took that to heart, competing in the boxing ring throughout the summer. Via ESPN.com: “’Roddy B’s been working out actually. He’s been in the gym; I saw him just the other day. He’s taking boxing classes,’ Cuban said during his 70-minute appearance Tuesday on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM. ‘I told Roddy and the folks around him, I said he’s got to learn to throw a punch and take a punch. So he’s been taking some boxing classes, he’s been working out, he’s bigger, he’s stronger. He’s going to have a chance to compete, just like everybody.'”
